    Aluminum conversion-coating wastewater sludge

Use F019 only when the waste stream and non-specific Schedule 12 source both match.

Wastewater treatment sludge from the chemical conversion coating of aluminum, a metal finishing step.

Is Federal F019 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal F019 lists aluminum conversion-coating wastewater sludge. The source, composition, concentration or test condition on record must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant records the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions apply.

What does Federal F019 cover?

This is sludge from treating wastewater from chemical conversion coating of aluminum. It leaves out zirconium phosphating in aluminum-can washing when that is the only conversion-coating process.

Official wording
Wastewater treatment sludge from the chemical conversion coating of aluminum except from zirconium phosphating in aluminum can washing if the phosphating is an exclusive conversion coating process.

Is aluminum coating wastewater sludge Federal F019 or another code?

CodeWhen it fits
F019Sludge from aluminum conversion-coating wastewater, where the zirconium-phosphating exception for can washing doesn't apply.

Decide from where the material came from, how it was used, what is in it and the test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make 2 codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still decide.
